Breastfeeding Tips
• Comfortable chair w/footstool or sitting upright in bed
• Lots of pillows
• Pitcher of water
• Cut up fruit, veggies, snack, etc.
• Cordless phone
• TV remote
• When baby is at the breast his/her belly should touch your body, in whatever position
you choose to feed (cradle, clutch, or lying down).
• Use lots of pillows to keep baby level with your breasts, being sure to always hold the baby.
• Hold baby with one hand/arm and your breast with the other.
• Tickle the baby's nose with your nipple. Make him/her open their mouth very wide.
• Guide your baby onto the breast (not the nipple). Babies need to suck the breast not
just the nipple.
• Once the baby is comfortably latched on, sit back, take a drink of water, relax and enjoy!
Most breastfed babies will want to eat about every 2-3hrs
• Wash your hands.
• Wherever you are, try to make a comfortable/private space.
• Keep a picture of your baby with you, and his/her shirt or blanket (to smell).
• Fill a pitcher with water or juice.
